2008 44 Sedan Bridge Purchase

Thank you all, once again, for all of the kind comments.
 
John,

I know what you're going through right now with wanting it to get back together ASAP but also wanting it done right. Are you going to have any additional equipment installed on her while she's on the hard?

John, I haven't commented much, but enjoying the heck out of this thread!
 
Beautiful boat. We are hoping to go that route before we retire so we can live on it during the summer here in Cental NY and live in
Fl during the winter. Best of luck to you and Shelli.

Well, yes. HD-7 Sat TV Receiver, 3 Direct TV HD DVRs, 3 HDTVs, Bridge A/C, Hydraulic Lift Swim Platform, Lumishore Color Changing Lights (4), 150' Chain for anchor, Underwater Camera, and a collection cup.
 
You guys are all way too kind. I'm in Memphis, no, LA, no, Minneapolis, or actually, St Paul - What time is it?

My buddy snapped this photo with his phone from his marina across the fence this afternoon. Top's on. Wife saw windshield being put on, and hopefully, the canvas is all up to close it up. There is a liner under the metal work on the back 1/2 of the top - not sure why they took it off - probably to access the stuff that goes all the way up top - the KVH antenna has to be mounted on top of the framework.

The thought of missing all of this progress makes me sick, but not as sick as the thought of missing some good boating in April while traveling across the country:

1 post. 1 post. "Haven't commented much." Now, that is the understatement of the lifetime of this website!
 
You're finally getting there...soon to be on the water!! Man whoever shipped that yacht really did a nice job. Impressive
 
The headliner has to be taken down to reach the electronics on the arch/hardtop for removal/reassembly. There was also some discussion last week about measurements for the KVH wiring to be sure they had the right cabling ordered.

Also, if anyone wants to see one, that is the best and most conscientious bottom guy/travel lift operator in captivity in the photo. There isn't a better bottom job done anywhere than we get done at this marina and he just finished John's boat.

I haven't either....well, because a cat's got my tongue. I'm enjoying this thread too. I like seeing hard working people have dreams come true.

Agreed 100%. Rob is an outstanding technician and a great guy as well. He went to do bottom jobs a couple of years ago for a short time, but with that kind of an outcome, they're not likely to move him soon. He's actually done 2 for me now - the 340 last year and now the 44.

Holy smokes, that's a lot of entertainment. When will you have time to go boating?.
Congrats again John, she's coming together nicely.
 
Okay I'll make a third post.....woo hoo, looking good!
